She couldn't see anything clearly in the dark. Chu Xiang gathered her spiritual energy in her eyes and was finally able to see a few meters around her. She followed the original owner's memory and walked towards the place where the pigeons were raised in the palace. On the way, she met several patrolling guards. Fortunately, her perception was sharp and she hid in the dark to avoid them.
Because the original owner didn't walk around the palace often, she got lost once. It took her a long time to find the place and secretly stole four pigeons and a fire starter. She wrapped the four pigeons tightly with cloth and quickly hid in the dark. The night guard only came out to take a look and then went back sleepily. He didn't find anything wrong.
She kept thinking about how to turn the situation around. She quietly walked on the road when she suddenly heard a commotion in the distance. Then, there were some shouts. It seemed that someone was trying to catch someone. That area lit up. She hurriedly ran towards the cold palace with the pigeons. When she reached the corner, she keenly sensed that there was someone in front of her. However, she couldn't stop in time and suddenly bumped into that person's arms!
That person subconsciously covered her mouth and pressed it against the wall. Chu Xiang looked up and only saw the black clothed man's clear eyes. She patted his hand and tried her best to show that she wouldn't shout.
The black clothed man was about to knock her out when he saw her actions and the pigeons in her hands. He was stunned. Then, he looked at her tattered clothes and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Chu Xiang sensed that he didn't have any killing intent and replied, "I'm just a palace maid. Who are you? "
The black clothed man looked back at the light and whispered, "You don't have the courage of a palace maid. You actually asked me who I am. I'm an assassin sent by the rebel army to kill the dog emperor. You must have a place to hide, right? Take me there. "
"Follow me." Chu Xiang used her spiritual energy to test him. He gave off a very warm and comfortable feeling. Thus, she took him to another road and ran towards the cold palace. On the way, she whispered, "You really dare to follow me? Aren't you afraid that I'll betray you? "
The black clothed man held a dagger and looked at her. "Then you can only accompany me in death."
When one was fleeing for their lives, many thoughts flashed through one's mind in an instant. The man in black didn't know why he followed Chu Xiang, but when he saw her calm eyes and strange actions, he subconsciously thought that this was a chance to escape. This intuition had saved him many times.
Chu Xiang rushed into the hole with the black-clothed man before the bodyguards came to investigate. She quickly blocked the hole with stones and brought the black-clothed man into the house.
"Master, you're back!" The cub had been on tenterhooks. When it heard the noise, it ran to the door happily. When it saw the man in black, it immediately wanted to use its sharp sword.
Chu Xiang covered her mouth and warned, "Don't make a sound. I'm the one who brought him back. The palace is trying to catch him. Don't make any noise. "
Zi Yu nodded repeatedly. When she let go of her hand, she couldn't help but pull Chu Xiang to the side and said, "Master, what are you doing? He doesn't look like a good person. The palace is looking for him. If they find him here, we'll be finished. "
"Purple Jade, the assassin might not be a bad person. The person has been brought back. Don't worry. This may not be our last chance. " Chu Xiang stuffed the pigeons into the cub's hand and ordered, "Hide them well. We can't eat them tonight. Find a chance to eat them tomorrow."
The cub looked at the four pigeons in its hand in surprise. It wanted to ask Chu Xiang how she did it, but it saw that Chu Xiang had already walked toward the man in black. It had to find a place to hide the pigeons first.
The man in black stood beside the tattered wardrobe. When he saw Chu Xiang coming over, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Master? Who the hell are you? Why did you help me? What's your purpose? "
Chu Xiang stood in front of him, looked him up and down, and asked, "I saved you. Shouldn't you reveal your identity first?" She paused and said, "I'm called 'Master' in this cold palace. Obviously, I'm a abolished concubine. You can see that I'm living a miserable life. I helped you because no one in the palace will help me. I want to bet on whether you can save me out of the palace. "
The man in black looked at her very defensively, but he was confused by her too straightforward words. A concubine who was banished to the cold palace wanted to leave the palace? His impression of the cold palace was that it was a miserable and crazy woman who usually died in poverty. How could Chu Xiang let the assassin save her out of the palace? Also, Chu Xiang sneaked out to steal pigeons and planned to come back to eat them, right? It was too strange.
Seeing that the man in black didn't speak, Chu Xiang stepped forward and frowned, "If it's not convenient for you to reveal your identity, just tell me if you can take us out of the palace. You must have a way to get in tonight. As long as you save me, I can repay you in the future. "
The man in black listened to the noise outside getting closer and closer and whispered, "If you help me get through tonight safely, I'll find a way to take you out."
The cub ran over in a panic and said in fear, "Master, they seem to be coming to search. What should we do?"
Chu Xiang glanced outside and went to the bed to lie down. "Come and hide on the bed. The cub will search later. Remember to cry and beg them to ask the imperial physician to come and see me. I don't know what illness I have. I coughed up blood in the afternoon, and I'm dying."
